Statute overview

About this statute

This part enacts three related Acts in schedules A, B, and C, and says they come into force on dates fixed by the Commissioner in Executive Council. This part amends Yukon estate-administration law so deaths must be reported promptly, estate property must be delivered in some cases, and the public administrator can seek court administration of an estate. This provision sets up supported decision-making and representation agreements for adults, with rules on eligibility, formalities, duties, information access, and how the Act comes into force. This Part lets the Supreme Court appoint guardians for adults who cannot manage all or part of their affairs, and sets out application, notice, powers, duties, and reporting rules. Guardians must keep adult information secure and can disclose it only for specific purposes; the court may also set payment, review, replacement, and other guardian-related orders.
